Key concepts

Dwelling A dwelling is a room or suite of rooms - including its accessories, lobbies and corridors - in a permanent building or a structurally separated part of a building which, by the way it has been built, rebuilt or converted, is designed for habitation by one private household all year round.

Household A household, in the context of surveys on social conditions or income, is defined as a housekeeping unit or, operationally, as a social unit:

  1. having common arrangements;
  2. sharing household expenses or daily needs;
  3. in a shared common residence.

House price index The house price index, abbreviated as HPI, is an index that measures the changes in the transaction prices of dwellings purchased by households.

Consumer price index The consumer price index, abbreviated as CPI, measures the change over time in the prices of consumer goods and services acquired, used or paid for by households.
